    As always, you have to run the numbers. Ownership also comes with hidden costs. Property taxes and maintenance aren’t cheap.

        Yeah, I think renting has less hidden costs, but it might increase in an unpredictable way, or you might need to move out sooner.

        Precisely. When comparing against home ownership, people often only consider the mortgage.
